How to Delete Bookmarks on X (Twitter)

. 5 min read

Bookmarks on X (formerly Twitter) are a great way to save tweets you want to revisit, whether it’s an interesting article, a funny video, or important information. But sometimes, your bookmarked tweets can pile up, making it challenging to find what you need.

If you're looking to organize or delete bookmarks on Twitter, below is a simple guide on deleting them.


🤔
Not sure if your bookmarks are private? Here’s the answer to who can see your Twitter bookmarks!

Can People See Your Bookmarks on Twitter?
People cannot see your bookmarks on Twitter. But there’s a lot more to know about this useful yet often misunderstood feature.


Step-by-Step Guide: How to Delete Bookmarks on X

Removing bookmarks on X is straightforward. Follow these steps to delete individual bookmarks or clear your entire list (on mobile only).


How to Remove Bookmarks on X Individually

Step #1: Open the X (Twitter) App

Start by opening the app and tapping your profile icon in the top-left corner.

From the profile menu, select Bookmarks to view your saved tweets.

Step #2: Find the Twitter Bookmark to Delete

Scroll through your Twitter bookmarks to locate the tweet you want to remove.

Once you find the tweet, tap the share icon (usually represented by an arrow or three dots).

Step #3: Select “Delete Bookmark”

In the share menu, tap “Delete Bookmark” to delete Twitter bookmarks from your saved list.

How To Delete All Twitter Bookmarks (iOS and Android Only)

If you want to clear all your bookmarks in one go, you can do so, but this option is currently available only on mobile devices:

Step #1: Tap the ••• Icon

In the Bookmarks section, look for the ••• (three dots) icon at the top of the timeline.

Step #2: Choose Clear All Bookmarks

Tap this option to clear all your bookmarks at once. Keep in mind that this action is permanent and can’t be undone once confirmed.

Note: Unfortunately, the web version of X does not yet offer an option to clear all bookmarks. If you're using X on a desktop or laptop, you’ll need to delete Twitter bookmarks individually.

BONUS: Can You Recover Deleted Bookmarks on X?

Once you delete a bookmark on X, it’s permanently removed. Unfortunately, X does not offer any way to recover deleted bookmarks, so if you accidentally remove one, it’s gone for good unless you’ve saved the tweet elsewhere or created a backup of your bookmarks.

Here’s what you need to know:

🔴 No Recovery Option: After deleting a bookmark on X, there’s no way to retrieve it. X does not keep a history of deleted bookmarks, so be cautious when removing saved tweets.

Since X doesn’t provide a recovery method, taking a few extra steps to save crucial bookmarks outside the platform can help avoid any permanent loss.


How to Retrieve Unsaved Bookmarks

Sometimes, you might accidentally remove a bookmark or want to revisit a tweet that’s no longer in your saved list. While X doesn’t provide a way to recover deleted bookmarks, here are a few alternatives to help you locate the tweet:

🟢 Check Other Saved Locations: Did you share or save the tweet somewhere else? If you shared it with a friend, in a group, or copied the link to another app, you may still be able to access it.

🟢 Search for the Tweet: If you remember details about the tweet or the author, try using the search function. Keywords, hashtags, or even the account name can help you locate the tweet.

🟢 Regularly Organize and Back Up Bookmarks: To avoid losing essential bookmarks, consider organizing them frequently or saving critical tweets in an external app. This can provide extra security in case you accidentally delete a bookmark.

Taking a few moments to save important tweets outside of X can prevent the permanent loss of valuable content.

Since X doesn’t provide a way to recover deleted bookmarks, regular organization and using alternative methods for saving important tweets can ensure you don’t lose essential content. Taking a few extra steps to back up crucial bookmarks can provide peace of mind and easy access to your favorite tweets anytime.
